Where to buy from
When it comes to buying car batteries in Nigeria, there are two 2 obvious choices: to either buy from a physical store/location or to buy a battery online from an eCommerce store. The choice you pick will depend on your circumstances. If you won’t mind going to the physical store to pick the battery, shopping in a physical store will be a good alternative. But if you prefer to receive your order in your location, online stores like Konga, Jumia, and Jiji, etc. are your go-to alternatives.
If you are ordering a battery online, there are factors to consider including; integrity and review rating of the store. If a store has a ranking that is close to 5-star rating, the better.

The best battery for my car
